Learning Python for Forensics

Preface

At the outset of writing Learning Python Forensics, we had one goal; teach the use of Python for forensics in such a way that readers with little to no programming experience could follow along immediately and develop practical code for use in casework. That's not to say that this book is intended for the Python neophyte; throughout we ease the reader into progressively more challenging code and end by incorporating each script into a forensic framework. This book makes a few assumptions about the reader's programming experience, and where it does, there will often be an Appendix section or a list of resources to help bridge the gap in knowledge.

The majority of the book will focus on developing code for various forensic artifacts; however, ...
